I do it too! And we just moved and I have 2 ginormous, beautiful, acorn producing oak trees in my front yard! They've begun dropping and my pockets are filling up. I really should start controlling myself. Ha!! I love whistling with the tops :)

There are so many beautiful stories and crafts which I find using acorns, I have to substitute them as we don't have acorns here in Australia where I live! but I truly wish there we some of these little treasures here,.... oh well maybe one day I will move somewhere were I can find them.

I'm so glad it's just not me! My husband hates going anywhere near an oak tree with me this time of year because he knows it means that DS and I will be going home with pockets (or baskets) full of acorns!!!

On Friday we had a homeschoolers picnic and the kids collected over 2,000 acorns in less than 30 minutes! It was amazing to see them collect and then count their haul. One Mom took the whole collection home, apparently her pigs LOVE to eat them!

We don't have acorns around our home but we just visited my family and on our walks we collected a bit to bring home to make an Autumn wreath. Just tell people you are collecting some for the unfortunate that can't. We sure do appreciate it. :)

At the moment our walk home from school is taking twice as long as we go by so many oaks and hazel trees. I forget to empty pockets before they go in the washing machine, so our acorns and hazelnuts are always very clean. Just think how fit all this bending down and picking up acorns is getting all of us!

i'm so happy their is a medical reason for this..... i got compleatly over excited by my first (rather green) accorns of the season! I was indead a sqiral in a former life.... although probably not a very good one as i hate hights!!

We started on the Hazle nuts too today..... just at the end of my road so not far to go to get the fix!
